The artwork titled “Italy. Assisi,” created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1932, belongs to the Expressionism movement and is a cityscape genre piece.
The artwork portrays a serene and picturesque town square in Assisi, Italy, bathed in a soft, warm light. The buildings, rendered in muted tones, exhibit an array of architectural styles, capturing the historical essence of the town. A fountain stands at the center of the square, adding to the tranquil ambiance. Some of the facades cast subtle shadows, indicating the time of day. In the foreground, a couple of small potted plants and a table and chairs hint at an inviting, leisurely atmosphere. The gentle brushstrokes and harmonious color palette evoke a sense of calm and timelessness, encapsulating the quiet charm of Assisi.
